Don't know where she belongs

Twenty Six New to Baberton Looking for her mother “You are asking me like I knew her, which I didn’t. Can you please just leave me alone? I have my own mysteries to solve.”

freya-powell​:

Freya chuckled, shaking her head. “How about we both just sit here?” She suggested, not wanting to just take the whole table and as she scanned the room it didn’t look like there were too many open spots anyway and the queue at the till was long. She listened to the other woman, able to tell she clearly had a lot going on. “Wait, really?” What were the chances, right? “I actually… just moved into a place and I was gonna need a roommate.” She wasn’t sure how long she had intended to be here herself but she knew she needed to get her siblings to realise she wasn’t running away again. Freya almost asked who she was trying to find but she figured it wasn’t her business and they’d literally just met, so.

A grateful sigh escaped Savannah’s lips when she said they could both sit here. It would take very little effort for her to move to another table, but she was exhausted and was happy for the company. “Um... Yes?” She smiled, but laughed a little when the girl continued. “Wait... Are you offering to be my roommate? Just like that?” Savannah was clearly shocked, but she was in no way about to turn down such a generous offer. Maybe it was fate that she sat here. “I mean, if that’s alright with you, I’d really appreciate it.”

william--darcy​:​

Will looked up from his coffee after she sat down. Raising a brow slightly. “Charlotte who? Maybe I can help you find her or something.”

The nearby voice caught her attention and she turned to face him. “Oh. Oh, that’s so nice of you.” Savannah smiled, “Her name is Charlotte Hale. At least, it was. I don’t know if maybe she got married or...” She shrugged her shoulders. “I’m not even sure what age she is, but I’d take a guess at around at least forty.”

felicity-klein​:​

Felicity tucked her hair behind her ear. She was looking down at the picture of her parents that she’d taken from the attic a few weeks back. She looked at it sometimes, trying to imagine. Why wouldn’t they come back? She heard Fiona talking sometimes, leaving them messages or confiding in Katie. Felicity felt like it was her fault. She looked up when she heard a voice. It was the loud sigh that she heard more clearly though. “Are you okay?”

Savannah turned to face the girl and smiled, brushing off her own struggles with a wave of her hand. “It’s nothing. I’m fine.” She sighed again, “I’m looking for someone, but I’m having no luck. Otherwise there’s really no reason for me to be so pouty.” Shaking her head, her eyes dropped briefly to the photo in the other girl’s hands. “Are you okay?”

biancasaverina​:​

“You doing alright over there?” Bianca asked, looking over her coffee cup and the papers on the table in front of her. The girl looked mildly familiar but she couldn’t place her.

Savannah lifted her head from her hand, her hair falling down over her face. “Are you telling me I don’t look like I have my life together right now?” She joked, a smile forming on her lips. “I’ve just been trying to find someone and she’s just a ghost, at this point.”

freya-powell​:

Freya moved towards a table, just about to sit down at the exact moment that the other woman dropped into the opposite chair. “Oh — wow, sorry.” She winced, pausing. “…you alright?”

~

Savannah immediately looked up and apologised, “Oh my gosh, no. I’m sorry. I wasn’t paying much attention. You can absolutely still sit here if you like.” She was visibly flustered as she tried to compose herself. “I’m fine. I- Well, it’s just that I came here to find someone and I’m having no luck, and the B&B charges are getting ridiculous, so I’ll probably have to find a place to rent when I never intended on being here this long, and it’s just a lot.”

Savannah had been in town for quite some time now, but was no further forward in finding her birth mother. She had checked the public records and she had asked around at the police station, but nothing was coming up. Maybe this was pointless. She should just give up and go home. “Where are you, Charlotte?” She said to herself as she sighed loudly, dropping into a chair at The Hot Spot.

jacqueline--bailey​:

Jackie chuckled a little bit, looking over at her. “I swear I’ll go easy on you this time.” She teased lightly. “Yes, I would love another drink. I can set up the table.” 

~

“Uh huh. I’ll believe that when I see it.” She laughed as she picked up their glasses and headed to the bar. The queue wasn’t too long, so she returned quickly with a refill for Jacqueline and another glass of coke for herself. “Okay, I’m ready to embarrass myself again.”

vanessaxwilliams​:

“Oh… hey.” She smiled, nodding. “Yeah, yeah… I’m alright. Thank you. I’ve just had so much work.”

“Maybe it’s time to take a break?” She suggested, concern clear in her tone. “What work have you been doing?”

[emmaswoods]

s-avannahpresley‌:

“That’s okay. I’m sure it wasn’t on purpose.” She released a small laugh, “Yeah, I haven’t been here too long and I pretty much know no one so… it’s been a struggle.” Savannah smiled at her offer, “That would be lov-… Wait, did you say there’s a killer on the loose?”

Emma looked back at her and chuckled lightly. “Yeah… and it’s not an expression, we actually have a serial killer on the loose around here… you really flew in blind, didn’t ya?”

[s-avannahpresley]

Savannah’s jaw dropped a little, not sure of how to process that information. “A serial killer? What would a serial killer want with a small town like Baberton?” Maybe she should have done more research before coming here. “Gosh, I guess I did...”

s-avannahpresley​:

“Gosh, I hope so. I feel like I’ll never manage it.” Savannah laughed too, still looking around at the identical streets. “So you’re new too? Any advice, one newbie to another?”

“Just give it time.” She chuckled, before giving a nod. “Yeah, pretty much… moved here with my family.” She’d leave out the complicated twisty parts of the story. “Well… never go to Danny’s, it’s a dive.” She chuckled. “Nah, just… I mean keep your head down and you’ll be alright. Y’know… the papers seem to be making everything worse than it is.” Nothing too serious had happened since she’d been here, after all.

[s-avannahpresley]

“We can only ever be grateful for Google Maps.” Savannah laughed, but it faded into a sigh. This girl had come here with her family and Savannah was here to find hers. “That must be nice... Are there many of you?” She asked curiously. “I-...” Her words halted for a moment as she registered her words, “What do you mean? Did something happen?” Not once since coming here had Savannah bothered to pick up a newspaper.

[xsecretliarsx]

“Of course, sure, just bump into a person without apologizing why don’t you?” Elise mentioned has someone just ran into her without even looking back to see if she was alright. Thankfully she was, but still. @secretsummerstarters​

[s-avannahpresley]

“Oh my gosh! Are you okay?” Savannah gasped, briefly glancing back at the person who had run into her. “That was so rude.”

[s-avannahpresley]

vivienne-walsh​:

“Honestly? Kinda.” She laughed a little bit. “I’ve only been here a little while myself, and I still get some of the places mixed up but it gets easier.”

“Gosh, I hope so. I feel like I’ll never manage it.” Savannah laughed too, still looking around at the identical streets. “So you’re new too? Any advice, one newbie to another?”

anthcnyhayes​:

“No, no not good at all.” Anthony fought off a smile at hearing anyone say the words ‘oh gosh’ so genuinely out loud. He’d been crashing a night or two at the B&B in between a one night stand or three (and before he’d wind up hitting up one of his siblings) and finally there was a good reason for it. “I’ll hold out for as long as you want. Please, be my knight in shining armor.”

~

Savannah smiled up at him, swaying slightly as she breathed out a delayed laugh, “Okay.” She giggled again, her feet stumbling over themselves as she backtracked to her B&B room. A knight in shining armour... She smiled to herself- that was hardly her. She returned swiftly, paracetamol in hand. “Here you go.” She held them out, even offering her bottle of water.

[jacqueline--bailey]

“Think you can handle another round?” // @secretsummerstarters​

[s-avannahpresley]

“I mean you absolutely slaughtered me, but sure. Why not make me look even worse?” Savannah joked, “Want me to get you another drink?” She asked upon remembering that her own glass of coke was empty.

[anthcnyhayes]

“Hey! —Hello, you alright? There’s not a chance that you’ve got some pain killers on you, is there? Jack is not the best to you the morning after and I know, I know I should stop hanging about with him but here we are. I’m a weak man. Have mercy. Please?” ( @secretsummerstarters​ )

[s-avannahpresley]

“Oh gosh, that doesn’t sound good.” Savannah looked back at her B&B door briefly then turned back to him. “I think I have some in my room. If you can hold out for two minutes, I can get them for you?”
